Pattern Supplies and Resources

I wanted to create a spot for sharing resources and supplies that are needed for my patterns and tutorials. You'll find sources for notions and fabrics, plus links to relevant tutorials. I'll keep this updated with current patterns and information.

Supplies

I recommend checking your local quilt shop and craft/art store first when sourcing materials. It's important that we support our local shops when we can so that they stick around. If you're having trouble finding something though, I've listed online sources that I've used.
